The Mackie MR824 8" 2-Way Powered Studio Monitor Singleis a powered 8" 2-way reference speaker that is designed for mixing and monitoring in your home or project studio. It features a logarithmic waveguide system that aims to minimize reflections and diffractions for a wider sweet spot, plus a custom-tuned rear port to help ensure an even bass response.

The MR824 is equipped with matched amps and drivers for an optimized 85W Class-AB bi-amplified system. The speaker can also be optimized to your mixing environment with the adjustable acoustic space filters designed to maintain a flat response in typical placement configurations. Additionally, a high-frequency filter applies a boost or cut to compensate for particularly bright or dull sounding rooms. The MR824 has been designed with flexibility in mind, featuring XLR, TRS, and RCA monitor inputs. The speaker has been housed in an all-wood cabinet that has been treated with acoustic absorption material for a tighter response. Additionally, the optional MRS10 studio subwoofer can be added for a more powerful, extended low end.

[85 W] For that price you can't get a better deal if you are looking for precise flat sound. 5

[85 W] I love these for their honest clarity. I upgraded from a lesser set of these monitors and like these even more. I just wish they had threaded screw mounts to wall mount them. And I do wish the power switch was on the front. But they do sound great and these are a great option for pure clean sound! 5

[100 to 120 VAC] I bought these for a small office/edit bay. I wanted something I could use without a subwoofer. My previous speakers were little 5 models that lacked low end, resulting in mixes that were a little bass-heavy. These offer a little more low end without being boomy or artificial sounding. These are a great value for a nearfield monitoring system 5

[26.2 lb] These Mackie speakers are really surprisingly good, especially for the price. They do take more power to drive than the Tannoy Reveal 501A's they replaced, but that's no big deal. It took a little bit of time to find just the right spot and angle for them on my desk, but now I'm treated to nice, deep, tight bass unlike anything I expected. These are rated to 50Hz and I can tell that's not an over exaggeration. The highs are much less sibilant and noisy than the previous Tannoy speakers I had. I listen to a lot of EDM, Rock, and Metal so mids and lows are critical. I do have a small subwoofer which fills out the sound just a little bit, but honestly these don't need it.� I compared these to the MRMK3 speakers, and these really improve the clarity and accuracy of the music. I also cross-shopped PreSonus, Sterling Audio, KRK, Focal, Yamaha, and Pioneer. All the brands have their pluses and minuses, so it really comes down to personal preference.� For what it's worth, I didn't find the Mackie MR524's to be quite as clear or bright as the PreSonus Eris E5's, but ultimately the lack of mid-bass response from the PreSonus speakers was the deciding factor. The PreSonus would be fantastic if you're primarily listening to classical or vocal music, but for everything else I think Mackie has them beat hands-down for the same price. I drive the Mackie's from my computer via Optical S/PDIF to a Yamaha RX-V1 receiver. I then pass the unbalanced output to a CleanBox Pro for balancing and run XLR to the speakers themselves. I keep volume on all devices around 50-60%. I have no doubt I could blast these to ear-deafening levels but I actually like my neighbors. 5

[26.2 lb] I'm very happy with these monitors. They seem well built and have good clarity. I use them for video production some am mostly mixing dialogue or dialogue over music. 5

[85 W] I got four of these monitors and they sound very nice, very well made, and good flat sound. 5

Kenneth	22/06/2024
[100 to 120 VAC] I purchased a pair for mixing. These are very clear and precise. I look forward to using these more, as I have only had them a couple of weeks. 5

Jose	02/06/2024
[26.2 lb] I have used one pair of these speakers and they work fine. I like the way they sound. Very clear and professional. 5

Dan	27/05/2024
[26.2 lb] For video you'd be hard pressed to have better sound for two or more times the price. I only sit arm's length away from them, so they're quite punchy without being overwhelming. Great stereo field. Quite revealing too. 5
